BEBH ASKIN' HIS IWOE

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
WHEN THE CIRCUS was in town, a hard-pressed pub
' ' licity head of a fancy new beauty parlor conceived the
notion of having his boss pose combing out a lion's mane.
weve got a pretty tough
bunch of lions," a circus
executive reminded him.
"They wouldn't take
kindly to a stranger sa
shaying into their cage."
"That's all right," said'
the publicist airily. "My
boss is such a hound for
publicity, he wouldn't
even notice."
Once upon a time there
was a snail, relates Simons
Roof, who set out on a
chill winter morning to
climb the trunk of a bleak
cherry tree. As he painfully inches his way upward, a beetle
poked his head out of a hole and advised him, "You're wasting
your time, friend. There aren't any cherries up there." But the
snail didn't stop moving for a second. "There will be when I get
there," he pointed out.
"Experience," suggests Ralph Peterson, "is what enables you
to make the same mistake again without getting caught."

Salem Hotel Fire
Report Said False
Salem-OOT-Thc screeching
of sirens shattered the morn
ing quiet in the downtown
area here today as firemen
responded to a reported blaze
in a downtown hotel.
It was a false alarm.
Firemen said they received
a call at 6:25 a.m. from a pay
phone that there was a mat
tress fire in room 9 of the
State Hotel.
Ladder trucks, rescue rigs
and pumpers streamed from
the main fire station.
There wasn't even a whif
of smoke, firemen said. They
then began a check of all
downtown hotels in case a
wrong address had been call
ed in.
They could find no fire.
The department said "we
receive maybe 25 false alarms
a year, but this is the first
one involving a hotel."

Ii Cancer Contageoua
I often say in this column
that I know of no good evi
dence to prove that cancer is
c o n t a gious,
but still let
lers keep com
ing from peo
ple who are
very fearful
that they or
their children
will "catch"
the disease
from a grand
mother or a
Alvarez
neighbor in the next house. I
have known hundreds of men
and women with a cancer
who for years slept in the
same bed or the same room
with a spouse, and they
never passed on their cancer.
On rare occasions, one
hears of a "cancer house" in
which several persons have
cancer, but this may not mean
anything, because with a dis
ease as common as cancer
there must be some houses in
which two or more persons
happen to have the disease at
the same time.
We must remember also
that some very busy surgeons
operate almost every day to
remove one or more cancers,
and they do not "catch" the
disease. The best proof that
cancer is not catching is that
a bit of cancer tissue can be
put under a man's skin and
it will not grow there. This
experiment was carried out
recently with 100 "lifers" in
a prison, who volunteered for
the work.
Cancer is not contagious.
but is it hereditary? What is
the cacfeausonc
the cause of cancer? Is there
any good laboratory test for
cancer? Dr. Alvarez discusses
these and many other ques
tions in his booklet, "What
We Know About Cancer."

Stretch Marks On Skin

marks on their skin stretch

Q. What is your opinion of
the income tax form now in
use?
A. "Confusion now hath
made his masterpiece. For my
own part, it was Greek to
me."
Q. Have you had some
trouble with the tax col
lector? A. "No man's pie is freed
from his ambitious finger. He
hath eaten me out of house
and home. He thinks too
much; such men are danger
ous. Forty thousand brothers
could not. with all their quan
tity of love, make up my
sum."
Q. Did you cheat on your
tax return?
A. "To be hones' as this
world goes is to be one man
picked out of ten thousand.
Some of us will smart for it.
You yourself are much con
demned to have an Itching
palm."
Q. So if the President rec
ommended a tax cut, you
would approve?

due to once having been quite
stout and then later having
reduced weight. Bad stretch
marks on the abdomen are
usually due to the fact that
the woman has had one or
more child. What some of
these women want to know is
why certain friends of theirs
who were once stout or had
child have no such skin
markings.
I suspect that the difference
is in the inheritance of good
elastic tissue in some women.
I do know that some women,
after having had a child, have
badly scarred abdominal
wall, while others have no
scars at all. I suspect that the
woman with no stretch-marks
has "younger tissues than
have those women who are
distressed with marks. I do
not know of any way of get
ting rid of the stretch marks
except by an operation. But
this would be a big operation,
and it would leave scars, per
haps almost as ugly as the
stretch marks.
When Two Drinks
Bring Relief
Every so often I see pa
tient who tells me of vague
discomforts, perhaps in the
digestive tract or abdomen, or
skin or chest. He may say he
has been well examined in
big clinics and nothing has
been found that throws any
light on his trouble. Perhaps
he has had his distress off
and on for many years; he has
seen many doctors and tried
many medicines, but without
results. Sometimes, while
asking him what brings on
his distress, I learn that it
comes most often during so
cial contacts, for example,
when he goes out to dinner
or takes a young lady out for
the evening.
This statement will immedi
ately make me suspect that
the distress is due to nervous
tension, and I will be sure of
it when the man goes on to
sav. "You know, this is curi
ous, but if I take two drinks,
my distress is gone, and I can
have a pleasant evening
Alcohol cures him because it
is a sedative and a tranquili
zer: it can relax nervous ten-
sion, and it can put him at his
ease.
There, is a danger to this
however. The person, on
finding that alcohol will make
him the social and friendly
and approachable person he
wants to be, may get to taking
too much of it.
In her book, "I II Cry To
morrow, ' Lillian Kom tens
of an evening when she dis
covered that alcohol could
make of her the social and
lovable person she wanted to
be. It is too bad that on that
evening no one was there to
tell her that just because
alcohol could do such a won
derful thing for her, she
should never touch It again.
Some wives write me to
say that they lose their fri
gidity and can be normally
affectionate after a couple of
drinks. Sometimes people will
tell me that two drinks will
cure their itching hives, and
then questioning may reveal
the fact that the skin trouble
came with some strong
emotion.

Not By Accident. This Dog
Finds Her Place in tha Sun
There were those who did
n't believe It, even after wit
nessing the performance with
their own eyes. Even the little
dog's mistress had reserva
tions. She, too, figured it must
be more accidental than plan
ned. Still, the evidence was
there, the little dog was real
and what she was doing was
very logical.
She was a small dog of mix
ed ancestry. She had been lost
once, had been an inmate of
an animal shelter. Later, her
board-bill had been paid and
she came to live with a small
family in the suburbs. Like all
pups she rapidly adjusted her
self to the whims and habits of
her new owners, learning
what they expected of her ind
usually succeeding in pleas
ing them.
Like most dogs in new sur
roundings she made her selec
tions: chose her favorite per
son, her preferred location for
her frequent naps and whose
bed she would sleep beside at
night.
Amusements
During the days she amused
herself in the fenced-in back
yard. She dug holes, buried
bones, chased sticks and spent
hours worrying a rubber rat.
Always, like all her kind, she
was mysteriously conscious of
time.
She took her nap always at
one o'clock and slept until
three, curled up on the cush
ion of an aluminum chair that
was part of the porch furnish
ings. She knew exactly how to
curl herself on the cushion to
attain the most comfortable
position. Occasionally the
chair was moved (when the
housewife swept the porch
floor), but regardless of where
it was, it was always the
chosen chair for the midday
nap, for that chair held the
body-contoured cushion.
Unnoticed by the little dog
the sun marched across the
sky; the golden days of sum
mer slipped away into the
limbo of time; the air became
a little chill. Instead of avoid
ing the sun, as she had all sum
mer, the little dog now sought
its failing warmth. When the
body-contoured cushion in the
aluminum chair was in the
shade of the porch roof, the
little dog shivered in her sleep.
Frequently she would inter
rupt her nap to go out again

and sleep on the grass. Things
were not so pleasant.
Missed Sun
Always thoughtful of the
dog's comfort, the dog's mis
tress tried to leave the chair
where the sun's rays would
hit the cushion during the
time of her nap. Then, on an
unusually cool day, the little
dog romped and played in the
yard. Nap -time came. She
ceased her play and crawled
up into the contoured cushion.
The sun's rays slanted through
the screen but missed the
chair by a couple of feet.
The dog shivered, recurlcd
herself, but the shadow of the
porch still hid the warming
rays. The housewife looked
out her kitchen window when
she heard the chair being
noisily knocked across the
porch floor. The dog was hit
ting the chair with her fore
feet, until the sun shone on
the cushion.
Thinking it was an accident
the housewife, next day, pur
posely left the chair in the
shade. She waited. Nap-time
came. The dog tried the chair:
too cold. The housewife watch
ed. The dog jumped down,
turned and began hitting the
chair until the sun shone on
the soft cushion.
Skeptical friends came on
following days to watch what
they couldn't believe, and,
they too, witnessed a little dog
working hard to "find her
place in the sun."
